Patient's question:
I am 35 years old and have had uterine fibroids for several years. I heard that focused ultrasound can treat uterine fibroids—is that true? Is the effect significant?Doctor's answer:
Hello, by focusing ultrasound, the temperature inside the tumor is raised above 65℃ locally, leading to coagulative necrosis of the tumor and achieving the therapeutic effect. The treatment can cause uterine fibroids to shrink and alleviate symptoms. It is suitable for symptomatic uterine fibroids. One of its advantages is that there are no surgical scars after treatment and recovery is quick. Side effects include skin burns, adjacent intestinal damage, hematuria, and other symptoms. Additionally, it is essential to go to a professional treatment institution to reduce the risk of occurrence.
